Users and X with wrong timezone settings help

[Brent S. Clark]

Paul, I checked the permissions on /etc/localtime and they were -rw------.
I did a quick search for it on the archives and found that is should be
set to  -rw-r--r--. I chmod-ed it and now everything is working as it
should. Many Many Thanks!

What are the permissions on /etc/localtime?

$ ls -lL /etc/localtime
